Integrated European –omics research project for diagnosis and therapy in rare neuromuscular and neurodegenerative diseases (Neuromics)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Neurodegenerative (ND) and neuromuscular (NM) disease is one of the most frequent classes of rare diseases, affecting life and mobility of 500,000 patients in Europe and millions of their caregivers, family members and employers. This NEUROMICS project brings together the leading research groups in Europe, five highly innovative SMEs and relevant oversea experts using the most sophisticated Omics ...

Understanding the regulation of physiological protein aggregation with age (AggregatingProteome)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Mar 3, 2017,

Aging is a major risk factor for neurodegeneration, cancer and heart disease. Understanding what goes wrong with age, in particular how the proteome becomes dysfunctional may help to slow down or prevent these age-dependent diseases. Until recently, it was widely assumed that protein aggregation was mainly restricted to the extensive aggregation of a few hallmark proteins in diseases such as neuro ...

MAnagement of mental health diSorders Through advancEd technology and seRvices – telehealth for the MIND (MASTERMIND)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

The MastermMind Consortium to avoid dispersing efforts has narrowed the scope of the services to just one, non-organic, mental disorder: depression. This because of its high incidence, social cost and proven clinical effectiveness of ICT in its treatment. MasterMind intends: 1) to implement at scale (almost 5.000 patient overall) evidence based computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (cCBT) ser ...

Gene-Environment Interactions in the Etiopathogenesis of Parkinson's Disease: Role of Inflammation (PDGENNI)

Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a relentlessly progressive disease characterized clinically by bradykinesia, rigidity, and resting tremor. Clinical manifestations of PD are not apparent until 80~85% of neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) have degenerated and striatal dopamine (DA) levels are depleted by 60~80%. At the time of diagnosis, the therapeutic window and the potential to inter ...

BrainTrain: Integrative neuroscience school on brain function and disease (BrainTrain)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

Brain disorders, in particular neurodegenerative diseases and mental illnesses are among the most prevalent and debilitating diseases. Because they are chronic, quality of life and socio-economic prospects are dramatically impaired. Increased life expectancy further enhances the impact of brain dysfunction on society. In coming decades this burden will grow into one of most pressing and costly pro ...

Content generation and delivery for 3D television (3D4YOU)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2011,

The 3D4YOU project will develop the key elements of a practical 3D television system, particularly, the definition of a 3D delivery format and guidelines for a 3D content creation process. The project will develop 3D capture techniques, convert captured content for broadcasting and develop 3D coding for delivery via broadcast, i.e. suitable to transmit and make public.3D broadcasting is seen as th ...
